In this respect, Assistant Minister of Infrastructure Development Datuk Ghulam Haidar Khan Bahadar called on housing developers to build affordable houses.

He said no matter how rosy Malaysia’s economic condition is, low and medium income earners especially in Kawang are still finding it difficult to buy houses.

“Expensive houses are only affordable to certain people; the low and medium income earners have to be given consideration,” he said to the media when attending the Chinese New Year celebration at the Palm Condominium showroom Kinarut, here today.

Ghulam who is also the Kawang Assemblyman praised the efforts shown by the WSG Group managing director Datuk Susan Wong in bringing progress and development through the property development project in Kinarut.

“The WSG Group’s commitment in bringing development and providing affordable houses to fill the needs of the low and middle income earners is commendable and I hope there are more to come,” he said. – By Fizah Yusof/SayangSabah
